A Master of Fund Formation and a Trusted Advisor

Our firm engaged Thomas Beaudoin to structure and launch a new series of private equity funds focused on technology infrastructure. From the outset, his deep expertise was evident. Drawing on his nearly four decades of experience, particularly his recognized leadership in private funds law, he guided us through the labyrinth of structuring options with remarkable clarity. He didn't just present boilerplate solutions; he tailored the fund agreements to our specific strategic goals and investor base, anticipating regulatory and market challenges we hadn't even considered. His advice on manager compensation, carried interest waterfalls, and side letter negotiations was both commercially astute and legally impeccable. What truly sets Tom apart is his ability to distill complex legal concepts into actionable business strategy. His professionalism is matched by his pragmatism, making him an invaluable partner, not just a lawyer. The fund closed successfully and oversubscribed, a direct result of his meticulous preparation and seasoned counsel. For any venture capital or private equity fund formation, Thomas Beaudoin is simply the best in Boston.
